New KOFXIII home port trailer showing even more new content

* Shown four new stages: Adelheid Bernstein’s Skynoah from KOF 2003, Micky Roger’s Downtown stage from Art of Fighting, the Rooftop of the Rose Stadium, and a new stage which seems to be the Headquarters from the Those from the Past group.

* The video reveals more animated cutscenes, probably new intros and endings included.

* Global online play – challenge anyone anywhere around the world. Online play optimised for broadband/fibre-optic high speed internet connections. Reduces the amount of time player have to wait for a match. Increases the speed of the overall game and reduces lag.

* Featuring over 30 playable characters from the history of SNK’s best selling games, including the return of fan favorites such as Billy Kane and five new characters never before seen in previous KOF games.

* Multiple special endings depending on special formed teams, just like they did from KOF 97 onwards.

I wonder if these new backgrounds are any indication of who might be added. Having Adelheid's 2003 background backs up the rumors of his appearance. If Micky makes it into the game too, that would make me so happy. I've always wanted more AoF recognition in KOF. You can see Mr Big and Karman Cole (?) in his background.

Also, I wonder if they are gonna cover KOF2003 + KOFXI's story in this game similar to what the new MK did.

Man, they are hitting all the right beats with this one. Every little thing about this game is looking awesome.

The new backgrounds are nice tributes to us long time fans.

It looks absolutely LOADED with play modes.

It's got tons of 1P modes, enhanced story mode with anime style cutscenes, challenge mode and I'm sure there will be content to unlock.

Looks like the only things I need to concern myself with now are the netcode and the AI for 1P mode. If the online is tight and the AI isn't all spazzed out, they've got a total winner here, something I will practically force everyone I know to buy.

I'm so excited. I hated XII, as I think most did, but everything about this game is shaping up. I can't wait. Love the fact that we're getting classic Iori...and the idea of DLC characters in general. HYPE.

Atlus just put it out on Twitter a few minutes ago about the CD offer. Nothing yet on Amazon if they are going to carry it. Hopefully they will because I pretty much only use Amazon to get stuff off the innernets.

^ This. It's looking like fighting game of the year material, and that's saying something, given all of the fighting game buzz lately.

I think at least 3 of the 5 "new" characters yet to be revealed will be from Those from the Past. They are the main villains in this saga, so they deserve their own playable team (not counting Saiki. But if he counts as part of the official TFTP team trio in this, then at least add Botan and one other as playables.)

They are doing good job giving TFTP more involvement in the story, but they really should have 3 slots reserved for their members that haven't fought before.

That Atlus boxart looks cool but I feel the one in the TRAILER looks 10000 times better. Maybe that's the special edition box art?

According to the Japanese trailer, "Honoo wo Torimoshita Iori" (Flame-Regained Iori) is a downloadable character.

This release looks awesome to tell the least. I'm kinda hoping for Adel to bepresent as a secret character, tweaking the storyline to a happier ending where Ash has not to sacrifice (self-erase) himself.

In fact, the JPN homepage for the game recently had a radical upgrade, including illustrated storyline insights...
